Shut up Leroy. I grew up in the 19th ward. I'm probably blacker than you are.
We offered - even offered them lunch each day. They declined. They get pretty muddy digging around the house. I think they worry about tracking it in the home.

Very caring of you. The kid was foolish but now he's dead.

Accountable for what? Police say no alcohol or speed. The truck didnt go up onto a sidewalk and hit him. There was no sidewalk there, just a shoulder. Those are the risks of walking on the unlit county roads. Unfortunately these kids were most likely walking 3 abreast and he was the one closest to oncoming traffic walking on the line.(and wearing DARK clothing).
If it were today, it'd been 5:30 and still enough daylight.
It's too bad for this kid and his family. It's also a serious and deadly lesson learned for his 2 friends with him about the dangers of walking at night next to a road with no sidewalk or street lights in dark clothing.
I'm not saying it happened in this incident, but I've seen way too many kids who purposely try to walk as close to traffic as possible on purpose in somw twisted form of chicken to be cool for the buddies they're with. Then they do the fake jump out or flinch to freak the driver out.
Wasnt there an incident little more than a month ago in the area where a teen was walking in a group and horseplay was going on according to witnesses and a kid got shoved into traffic and killed? Kids think they are immune to danger and death, their brains haven't developed enough to process consequences for impulsive actions or to determine judgement and risk. That's why there are so many teen car accidents when turning into oncoming traffic, they can't calculate fast enough speed, distance and risk.

Ha that came out wrong. In this case, others need to learn from his stupid choice. Clearly he won't be walking in the street again. Maybe his friends won't?
Whatever happened to talking to your kids about wearing light colors or jackets with reflective stripes? Or staying out of the road? Or look, there's a pair of headlights, step out of the way.

The officer accountable is my best friend. The whole story is tragic none the less. Don't be making up issues about him, none of you guys even knew him. Just because he is a cop doesn't make him any higher than the rest of us. With that being said accidents happen and when people are walking in the road its only a matter of time before something happens. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone effected by this accident.

He did cause his own death...you've gotta accept facts (and get a spell check). My conscious is clear.

exactly my point. if he was alive he would have beaten me up. lots of kids transfer states and fall behind maybe ONE year. but not two. stop making excuses. he acted irresponsibly, as he often does, and it cost him his life this time.
